The Institute has been working with HMRC and the other Professional Bodies to drive readiness for the first tranche of mandation for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for income tax from April 2026. We are also aware of members concerns about this project and will continue to represent your views to HMRC. An Institute strategy is also being implemented to aid preparations which involves a range of resources, webinars and events including a HMRC led event in September which we will share more details of when available.
As part of our joint Professional Body collaboration we are pleased to share details of a new initiative by the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) who have confirmed that you don’t need to be an ATT member to participate. The first event takes place this week on Wednesday 21 May. More details of this new initiative are highlighted below.
Join an MTD peer-discussion group. Sign up here. To help you prepare, this is a series of monthly online drop in sessions where you can speak to your peers about tips and practical advice on getting ready. Facilitated by the ATT’s technical team, these sessions aim to serve as an open forum for attendees to share and discuss their practical concerns around MTD and support each other. Topics driven by you could include (but are not limited to):
- The challenges of getting clients ready,
- Resourcing and workflow issues,
- The choice of software, and
- Pricing MTD services.
These one hour sessions are taking place from 12–1pm on the following dates:
- Wed 21 May,
- Tue 17 June,
- Wed 23 July,
- Wed 20 August,
- Wed 17 September, and
- Tue 28 October.
